US_Standard76

MATLAB

[Model1,Model2,Model3] = US_Standard76(h,ModelType1, ...
                                       [ModelType2],[ModelType3])

Description

This function calculates the Temperature, Pressure, or Density at given altitudes.

Parameters

Parameters	Description
h [Vector]	Altitude of a point(s) (m)
ModelType [String]	The desired model type. Available types are 'TEMPERATURE', 'PRESSURE', or 'DENSITY'
ModelType2 [String]	(Optional) 2nd desired model type
ModelType3 [String]	(Optional) 3rd desired model type

Return Values

Return Values	Description
Model1 [Vector]	Model data for ModelType1. Length is length of h. Units depend on Type as follows: 'TEMPERATURE' (K), 'PRESSURE' (Pa) or 'DENSITY' (${kg}/{m}^3$).
Model2 [Vector]	(Optional) Model data for ModelType2. If only one output is specified and multiple models are requested, the output will be a matrix.
Model3 [Vector]	(Optional) Model data for ModelType3.
